What People Are Saying About Dolores del Rio Ristorante

In Short – A low wood-beamed ceiling, heavy stone walls and closely set tables do nothing to diminish the blithe atmosphere; in fact, the coziness makes the experience warmer and more convivial than anything else the Riverwalk has to offer. Dolores has an ardent love affair with garlic, so expect a heady dining experience. The roasted anchovies and sauteed mushrooms are delicious starters. For something different, try the bouillabaise-style fresh seafood soup.

Great Riverwalk Find! Featured on Rachael Ray's Vacation

by habba02

I had the opportunity to stay in downtown SA last weekend and happened upon a new "Rachael Ray Vacations" episode on the Food Network, she did a segment on this restaurant. WOW, she said it was "her pick" and she was correct! I went the following night for dinner and it was fabulous. I had the chicken picatta and my friend had the cioppino which was what they highlighted on her show and it was delicious! My chicken picatta was the best I've ever had and the cioppino was full of the freshest seafood and a hugh portion.... too bad we didn't have a fridge for the leftovers. They had live music and a belly dancer . The staff was attentive and very fun to watch manuever skillfully around this tiny gem on the Riverwalk. We'll be back for sure.

  • Pros: Best Chicken Picatta and Great Staff
  • Cons: Small but cozy, cozy....

Worst experience in San Antonio ... Ever

by JohnSKerrville

We saw the bad reviews, but decided to take a risk. We booked a table for 10, three weeks in advance, and they confirmed the booking...so far so good. Then they called two hours before the reservation to ask us if we would move it an hour later. We said we would like to eat at 7.30 as reserved...and they said OK, they would jockey the situation around. When we arrived, they had no table for us. They said the dishwasher must have made the reservation in error (even though it was confirmed the day before). Then they said they had a table for five people, because we must have said five people, not 5 couples (remember that they confirmed a table for 10). The door staff were rude, we never got to sample the food, or the belly dancer, and we never shall. Cross this one off your list. Aztec, just down the street had a table, and the food was just fine. Go there instead.

  • Pros: It's close to other restaurants when your reserved table isn't available
  • Cons: service, reservations, door staff are all awful ... don't even think about this place
